Landmark spy trial begins in Canadian courts
The trial of Yuesheng Wang — a former Hydro-Québec employee who in 2022 became the first person ever charged with economic espionage in Canada.
Wang is accused of spying on behalf of China, using his position as a battery materials researcher at Québec’s public utility to pass on information to Chinese institutions as well as publish scientific articles and file patents in China rather than through his employer.
